(I know for the larger group ones I might have to book 2 tables) my ADR day is Monday fingers crossed that I get at least the 2 for the large group..

9/15 Arrival & Ohana

9/19 Epcot day
9/20 Chef Mickey & MK
9/21 Tusker House (hubs & I) and AK for all

Anyone else getting really antsy waiting for MNSSHP dates???

I could be very wrong but I feel like you can just ask for them? When i called this week to book our ADRs, i was told that magic kingdom would be closed at 6 on sept 11,14,16,18 for the Halloween party. We are staying from sept 10th-20th.

Don’t forget there’s toy story land now at Hollywood studios. I feel like that could be really toddler friendly. And yes the 18th is a MNSSHP day.

Yup! I wish they would announce those dates and also the ones for the HEA dessert parties so that I can give Disney even more of my money.

Today was ADR day for our trip, staying at POR 9/12-9/19 (DH and myself). Got onto the website right around 5am CST to book and was able to get a reservation for our first night but any day after that the "Sorry for the Paws" message kept showing up. I tried for about 20-25 minutes, tried the MDE app on my phone, several internet browsers and clearing my cookies but nothing worked so I finally gave up and went back to sleep. Tried again around 8am and 9am no luck. Finally, I gave in and called Disney Dining about 10am. Got through to a CM right away they were very nice and I was able to book everything I wanted What a feeling of relief that was! I'm just glad I didn't need to book one of the more difficult to get reservations like CRT or BOG, that would have really stressed me out!

9/12: Arrival & Spirit of Aloha
9/13: Jiko
9/14: Paddlefish
9/15: Trails End
9/16: The Edison
9/17: California Grill
9/18: Yachtsman

We had the same issue, "Sorry for the Paws" in multiple browsers and MDE app. Fortunately I got right through when I called. After having the credit card issues when I tried for the first part of our split stay on Saturday morning and now this issue today, I am remembering why I prefer to sleep an hour longer and just call in...

At least they are done, and we too got what we wanted!

See you there.

We are Sept 9 - 14.

We also had to reschedule because of Irma. We scheduled for Jan, and had a great time. But now we feel like we should "use up" our annual pass. Going again to get another trip on it.

My grown daughter and son are now going and my son is bringing his gf and her 4 yr old son (it will be their first trip) I booked the 3 adults and 1 child in a Cars Suite at AOA, so the couple can have privacy and so little 4 yr old boy is completely wowed by his first experience in DIsney. There is going to be something very special (dont want to say in case they are on the forums) going to happen on this trip for one of my kids and I super super excited! They arrive a day after us and leave a day before us, I booked them two night at COmfort Inn Lake Buena Vista so they can take a day to enjoy Disney Springs and a day at the hotel pool and then MNSSHP with us that night.

Monday is my ADR day. My luck, I'll get up early to make ADRs, then they'll announce MNSSHP dates later in the day, and I'll have to change my ADRs. Ha!

Just spent too much time completely rearranging the 2nd half of our trip due to the MNSSHP dates.

Many thanks for listing the mnsshp dates.

I have been waiting to see that so I can plan my time around when I am there.

It's a 25 minute wait at the moment, not multi hour. Just got off the phone.
